Today my one year old said "ciao" for the first time. He also said "shit". 🥹

CBR+PNK Overload looks every bit as stylish and fun as CBR+PNK. I hope @mythworks.bsky.social have a very successful crowdfunding campaign. www.kickstarter.com/projects/myt...

The greta video

Still waiting for the article that’s like “these right wing militia members are in a bubble and it would be healthier if they exposed themselves to left wing ideas”

The release of #Daggerheart got me thinking about the "failure" of Candela Obscura. What really interests me is whether CR themselves consider Candela a failure and what lessons they learned for Daggerheart.

@karrahe.bsky.social is just an incredibly talented artist. Happy birthday!

Miss Rachel isn’t on Bluesky, but her posts about Gaza should be. I wish this wasn’t so unusual to see from people with big platforms.

New sticker for the laptop to remind me of my responsibilities. #TransRights

When you defend Israel, this is what you’re defending. It doesn’t matter what you think you’re defending. This is what you’re actually defending. Because this is what Israel actually is, and not the illusion of a democratic society longing for peace in your head.

If you have an app in WSL and can't connect to something running on localhost in Windows (for example getting ECONNREFUSED), create a .wslconfig file in C:\Users\YOUR_NAME and add [wsl] networkingMode=mirrored learn.microsoft.com/en-us/window...

Ms. Rachel is braver than the troops.

The use of Shannon to facilitate both this and the US military is a massive blight on the nation

I still think Jurassic World Rebirth won't be a good film. But that raft sequence looks like it'll be amazing. youtu.be/6m1eOoUoVao?...

I've been saying this FOR MONTHS on here. You are not obligated to give to anyone. But there's a special place in hell for you if you reporting people who trying to survive a GENOCIDE because they are desperate for support. YOU CAN JUST MUTE PEOPLE AND KEEP IT MOVING. What is wrong with you?

Great t-shirt arrived from steviesafespaces.com I hope if a trans kid sees it they'll know they have a friend. #TransRights

“The purpose of education is so you can get a good job” No it’s not…. Nooooooo it’s not The purpose of education is so you won’t be a dumb ass

Nobody is saying “Don’t be a boy.” We’re not even saying “don’t be boisterous and energetic,” which is not just a male trait. All we’re saying, is “Don’t hurt anyone, and try to mind your manners.” substack.com/home/post/p-...

Great thread from "the internet’s gay Catholic aunt"

I'll take this as a good sign. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Leo XIV? If we don't get a Rerum Novarum 2.0, I'm calling bullshit.

My one year old got his MMR this morning and I feel so relieved and grateful that vaccines exist to protect him. I want to thank every researcher who works on vaccines. And wish every anti-vaxxer a very get fucked. #VaccinesWork

Wait, you're telling me that this bug that I've been stuck on for 8 fucking weeks was because Hadoop/AWS did a bad job of explaining that if you don't specify an AWS region they'll default to us-east-2?

Polygon is a site I visit most days. To see it sold off to a slop factory, and its workers callously dismissed, is gutting. Tabletop gaming journalism is going to be hit hard by this since Polygon (for all its flaws) definitely brought this reporting to a wider audience.

"gaming information category" seems suspiciously devoid of journalism, reporting, investigations, and opinions. you know. the stuff people want to read on a news site??

People often ask me for recommendations for charities to donate to and I usually suggest @distributeaid.org or the Palestinian Children’s Relief Fund (who I’ve donated to for years) but I do want to point out that absolutely zero aid has gotten into Gaza for almost 2 months.

The UK's political and media class has spent years heaping sadism on trans people, and they want to do the same in Ireland next. Calls for civility and calm won't cut it. We need to fight them tooth and nail. www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle-co...
